Lamar Jackson turned the ball over twice in the Baltimore Ravens’ home loss to the Cleveland Browns in Week 10.
For one, Jackson threw a costly interception in the fourth quarter. Jackson’s pass was tipped by Browns defensive end Ogbonnia Okoronkwo, and defensive back Greg Newsome II was there at the right place and at the right time to haul in the football. Newsome ended up going the other way for a 34-yard pick-6.
Jackson tipped his hat to Newsome for coming away with the crucial takeaway.
"The guy [Ogbo Okoronkwo] just tipped the ball," Jackson said during his postgame press conference. "Saw Pat [Ricard] was open in the flat. The guy tipped the ball, and the ball just flew 10 yards in the air. [Greg Newsome II] made a great play on the ball and just scored."
Jackson also singled out the pick-6 as one reason for why the Ravens wound up blowing a 15-point second half lead to the Browns.
Jackson has already turned the page on Baltimore’s narrow two-point defeat to Cleveland, as he is looking ahead to a pivotal home matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals.
"We just know we have another division opponent this Thursday, so we have to win this game, see the Steelers again," Jackson said. "Have to win this game and defend the [AFC] North. That’s what we have going so far."
The Ravens still hold the No. 2 seed in the AFC.
